While I love how I can get rarer vegan products that I cant get at chain grocery store, I have a major issue with how they run their business. I will come in and what appears to be a manager or owner will be sitting in a chair in the corner and will randomly decide to acknowledge me, depending on the day I go in. There are either no other employees or 3 or 4 who dont seem to understand customer service. Ive been in the store for ten minutes, mind you there are 4 aisles, and 3 employees didnt acknowledge me. One was on his headphones doing inventory and only head-bob greeted me after passing by me about 10 times. Are headphones really appropriate when there are customers in the store? The pricing is constantly changing and despite all the employees, they can never seem to keep the labels updated. Every time I seem to spend 5 minutes comparing the prices on say vegan cheese, find the cheapest, have it rung up, and then as I walk out I see on my receipt that I was charged a higher price I was trying to avoid. This happens with pretty much any sale item Ive ever grabbed. The first few times I shopped here I didnt realize until I got home and didnt want to go back for $2.50 but thats money the store pocketed out of, most likely unintentional, dishonesty. After checking out I now immediately walk back to the shelves to make sure the prices match up. One item was rung up 10 cents cheaper but three other items were incorrect. Ive really got to wonder how much money theyve made from this practice. In their refrigerated room they have a small shelf of discounted items. Ive seen products Ive wanted but they still seemed a little pricey, so I would wait another week to see if they were discounted further. Ive come back 2 weeks later and an expired product from the previous visit is still sitting there, now 2 weeks past date, and the same price. I didnt think it was legal to sell expired foods. If youre looking for a great selection of vegan and organic groceries, definitely check this store out, but dont expect real customer service.

The nicest guy in the world works here! The place is small but they have a great selection of organic and specialty diet goods including gluten free items. If you join the co-op you can split cases with other members for added savings. Ive never rated a grocery store before but my family has been in here once a week for years. The food is kind of pricy but i am positive it is due to the specialty nature of the wares. No one is working there to get rich that is for sure. Stop by and form your own opinion.

If they dont have it here then youre on the wrong planet. They have the best selection for vegan foods, mixes, sauces and their frozen food section is fantastic. They also have supplements, breads, snacks, gluten-free fare and a great assortment of vegan cheeses and yogurts. Cants say enough good things about this shop!

A great option if you have special diet requirements. My son had some diet restrictions and they were very helpful in pointing out foods that fit within. This is a small grocery store that has a wide variety of specialty foods.

Excellent source for almost anything you can think of from common to exotic. Even alternative items. Sign up for a membership and receive great specials and emails on New items.

Glad to have it as a local business since shopping organic and no-GMO isnt as easy as it should be... but the staff can really use some lessons in customer service.

Little pricey compared to other organic food stores in the area. Great juice bar, it difficult to find a true cold pressed juice bar for that alone...5-stars.

I am always able to get my organic energy drinks here along with wonderful service and very friendly staff. I have yet to walk in and not laugh from them. :)

The clerks were very knowledgeable. This is a small business and worthy of our (the publics) support. Prices are now competitive with large chains too.

Sam

Great little neighborhood store that carries items that are hard to find at nearby chains. They were the only place I could find coconut flour.

Nelia Waters

Nice store. I was able to find vegan food as well as organic food. Everyone in this store was very nice and knowledgeable.

This place is great! Love the products and service is good. Have been in there when the music is too loud and annoying.

Awesome selection and pricing. Using the online ordering option and picking up increases their offerings and savings.
